Blighted property

Blighted property refers to real estate that has fallen into a state of disrepair, neglect, or abandonment, leading to negative impacts on the surrounding community. This can include dilapidated buildings, vacant lots, or properties with health hazards. Blighted properties often lower neighboring property values and can attract crime. Local governments may address blight through redevelopment initiatives or laws that facilitate the renovation or demolition of such properties, aiming to revitalize communities and improve living conditions.
